Activities at Leonard Lodge
Our activities team offer a wide range of social events, from the very popular Friday morning bingo, to gentle exercise sessions, skittles, regular animal visits and arts & crafts sessions. We are fortunate to have a team of volunteers who stop by weekly to provide additional support, allowing residents the opportunity for one-to-one sessions. These sessions could include anything, even something as simple as playing a game of Scrabble or just having a cup of tea and a chat. We believe that it is essential to support people in such a way that they are able to continue to live full and happy lives doing the things that they enjoy.
Lynn Amiri
My name is Lynn and I lead the Activities Team here at Leonard Lodge.
Since working at Leonard Lodge I have dedicated myself to ensuring that each of our residents can continue to partake in the hobbies that they have enjoyed for years. It is important that all of the residents here have access to life enriching, fun and social activities.
The whole home supports my team and I to organise activities, events and entertainment tailored to every residents preferences, abilities and needs. Each year we have a fantastically full calendar, and we look forward to the future when we can invite the families of residents to join us in the home again.
I am married with two children and two rather annoying rescue cats. I lived in Italy for a number of years and love all Italian food, especially when somebody else cooks it for me! I love to read, especially crime novels. I am a regular theatre goer with a passion for musicals. I like to sing and dance (albeit badly!).

10 Years of Service
Congratulations to Lizy, our Memory Lane Night Nurse, on 10 years of service at Leonard Lodge. Lizy's cheerful smile and calm nature make her an asset to our team, bringing tranquillity to the nights on Memory Lane with her professionalism and expertise.
Raffles
Residents, relatives and staff enjoyed a cheese and wine party with entertainment by Robert Jerome and a fantastic raffle in aid of Barchester's Charitable Foundation. We raised money for a good cause and had a great time doing it.
Euro 2016: Part II
Celebrating the outstanding success of our Euro 2016 competition are Operations Manager, Chipema Chitambala, Maintanence Manager, Dominic Livingstone, and General Manager, Tibi Ionescu. All proceeds will be going into the residents fund.
Open Day at Leonard Lodge
Everybody got involved with the ABBA fun on Open Day, which was provided by Tickled Pink Productions. The music was superb and we were all 'tickled pink' when we got to dress up and take part.
Celebrating Euro 2016
Leonard Lodge celebrated Euro 2016 with a goal scoring competition. We didn't let England being knocked out spoil the fun as we were too busy scoring goals and enjoying ourselves to notice.
